Well I've been using the prototype riser now for about 1500 mi. and couldn't be happier. The 40mm risers really alter one's sitting position on the bike, giving me a much more upright and comfy position. This is going to be a must have farkle for tall riders. I'm stoked about them.

The risers don't bind the cables but just barely on the left side. YMMV if BMW's cable lengths vary a bit.

I would post pics but these are the prototype that's polished aluminum and black bolts. The production version will be brushed chrome with matching bolts.

Chris, Pres. of Rox said the production version should be available July 1.

Hello there, how high will the pivoting riser be and a target price, thanks.

I just installed the touratech 15mm risers and the right brake line/electric cable start to get tight when the bars are turned fully to the left. I'm interested in higher risers, what's the trick to get the cables to fit?

Drop the fork tube and move the cables behind the fork tube.

I live in Alexandria if you want to come by some time. It doesn't take long at all.

Dropping the fork tube is super easy and simple. I just did my 2013 camhead and was really amazed how easy it was. There are several threads available to show you how. I think all you need is a 19mm open end wrench and a 14mm socket/ratchet.

I also had to reposition the throttle cable but you may not have that problem since you are doing the fly by wire thing.

I was going to do this this weekend. Any data on the torque values when putting the 14mm nut back on? And might you have a link to those threads? Thanks.
